Noble Emblem

The news of going on an expedition quickly spread throughout the Holy Land. After that, the morale of the entire sanctuary was like a rainbow, and the offices of relevant departments were almost filled with letters of application for expedition. The news spread outside the cathedral, and many civilians and even professionals came over to join in the fun, clamoring to go to the battlefield.

Because according to the practice of France, every time a lord goes on an expedition, in addition to recruiting farmers to become ordinary soldiers, he will also recruit an additional group of farmers to be responsible for logistics and transportation, as well as cleaning the battlefield.

Most of the people in the Holy Realm are believers in the Light, and it is their lifelong belief to pay for the Light Religion. In the past, the Temple of Light had no major external enemies. Even if there were, they were very powerful professionals, and ordinary people could not help.

But in the case of war, the situation is different.

In any case, with a little training, farmers can become soldiers, and they can also become a member of the transportation team.

Beta was in the sanctuary, watching at least hundreds of thousands of civilians being armed, and then leaving the sanctuary in batches under the leadership of groups of Holy Guards within a few days. Behind each army was a group of farmers with fanatical morale, pushing wooden carts to help transport food, weapons, and armor.

A few days later, the sanctuary, which had at least one million people, suddenly became much empty. Beta estimated that at least 300,000 people had left.

Tina was one of the last people to set out. Along with her, in addition to Beta and the He-Man team, there was also a very elite Holy Guard army. Doro is also in this holy guard army.

As the future star of the sanctuary, Tina will be protected even if she goes to the battlefield.

Beta is also a member of the guard. Normally, magicians are not suitable for guarding, but now everyone knows that Cook Green is not a simple magician.

That's a magician who can learn 'sword will'. His close combat ability is estimated to be comparable to that of a great swordsman of the same level.

There was a carriage in the center, with one hundred Holy Guards in front and one hundred Holy Guards behind. Everyone in the Heman team was guarding the carriage.

The sun was very poisonous, and even though there were trees sprouting from time to time on the roadside, after walking for a long time, Seaman felt that his whole body was about to be sunburnt.

"Why do we have to guard outside, so he can stay in the carriage and be alone with the beautiful lady?" Seaman whispered in great displeasure.

"Because you're not handsome enough."

Bradley is wearing a suit of armor and riding a horse. If ordinary people wore armor in such weather, they would probably faint from the heat, but warriors have excellent physical fitness and have strong adaptability to both heat and cold. Unless the temperature is really extreme, ordinary professionals will not be afraid of the normal environment of nature.

In contrast, it would be very difficult for a magician to feel comfortable in such hot weather if he did not have an ice shield.

Unfortunately, He-Man is an earth magician.

Generally speaking, when a magician reaches his level, he will have several methods to deal with special harsh environments.

But he was too partial to science and only learned earth magic. This is a tragedy.

In essence, this is also related to the extreme scarcity of magic modeling. The views of the family are cherished.

In the carriage, Tina sat opposite Beta, talking happily.

With the people you like, even the boring journey will become colorful.

Beta was very interested in chatting with Tina. After all, Tina was also his friend, so he couldn't just respond without comment.

After a while, he suddenly frowned: "Do you, the Temple of Light, have the obligation to deal with the bear tribe?"

Um?

Tina had a black question mark on her face.

Now we are more than a hundred kilometers away from the Holy Land. There are no big cities around, only endless green mountains. Joan of Arc was hovering in the sky, and she discovered that there was a group of black bear-men looming in the forest about five kilometers to the right of the team. Joan of Arc estimated that there were about two thousand in number.

Beta originally thought that only Hollevin and the Ursine tribe would be near the Starfrost Kingdom, but he did not expect that they already had forward troops and had moved to France.

"Where did you come from?"

Beta felt a little surprised. Although there are many mountains and forests in the terrain of France, they are almost not bordered by foreign mountains. Moreover, the lords on the border of France are very powerful and cannot allow so many bear people to migrate in. And don't know.

Unless, they deliberately let the bear people in... This possibility is relatively small.

The other possibility is even more exaggerated.

The Ursines know how to use large-scale teleportation magic circles.

Logically speaking, this is less likely than the previous hypothesis, because the orcs, at best, are just playing shamanism, which is a kind of ancestor and totem worship, and does not have a complete magic theory. They may be able to use individual teleportation. technique, but the group teleportation technique is almost impossible to appear in the hands of the bear tribe.

But for some reason, Beta felt that the possibility of the second hypothesis was very high.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the bear tribe appears here.

"Werebears?"

Hearing this, Tina was also a little surprised. The average French people don't know what kind of dangers the bear people have, but Tina knows.

In the mountains and forests where these bear tribes hide, there may only be a few hundred or thousands of people in the beginning. But they are very capable of giving birth. As long as there is enough food, they can give birth to one litter a year on average. Each litter ranges from 3-6.

The Ursine tribe grows very fast, and humans have to grow up to about fifteen years old before they are qualified for combat. But the Ursine tribe usually only needs eight years.

In a sense, the bear people are more fertile than humans. But the survival rate of their cubs is lower than that of humans, but even so, if the bear people are allowed to live in the mountain forests for decades, the population of hundreds may become tens of thousands.

The only thing that limits the upper limit of the bear people's combat power is that their average intelligence is very low and they can't make tools. At most, they can just make some stone sticks, wooden sticks, or bone sticks.

They don't know how to smelt iron, let alone make iron equipment.

Therefore, even though the Ursines have extremely high reproductive capabilities, they are no match for humans.

But if a mountain forest is occupied by the bear tribe, then humans must pay a high enough price if they want to clear them out.

Beta told Tina the identity and number of the bear tribe, and Tina immediately stuck her head out of the fixed window and shouted stop.

In the eyes of everyone's surprise, Tina said in an arrogant voice: "I feel that there is an evil aura in the mountains and forests over there. I plan to go over and conduct a reconnaissance."

"Ms. Tina, will this affect our time to reach the front line?" the team's nominal adjutant asked from the side.

"Don't worry, with our speed, we can reach the front line at least four days in advance. It's no problem to waste some here." Tina smiled: "But we can't let the evil aura go unnoticed."

Paladins are synonymous with piety in the holy realm, and Tina said that there is an aura of evil there, so others will naturally have no objections.

She waved her hand to have the Holy Guards stationed on the roadside, and then the thieves in Heman's team, as well as several Holy Guards who were good at reconnaissance, set off in the direction Tina pointed.

Around evening time, they came back, and their faces were not very good.

"The Black Bear Tribe, numbering about two thousand, has more than one shaman."

The number of two thousand is indeed a bit too much. There are only more than two hundred people in the Holy Guards, and the mountains and forests are the natural hunting grounds of the Bear Tribe. Logically speaking, they are no match for the Bear Tribe.

But Tina said: "The bear tribe's eyesight is very poor at night, and they are much blinder than us humans. I think we can attack late at night."

This is not because Tina is murderous, but because the bear tribe appears in any human forest and is discovered, it must be exterminated as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you want to get rid of them when they give birth to more and more people, the price you have to pay will be too high.

Kyle personally led the army in Winterwind City and fought for several months before clearing out the bear tribe near Winterwind City.

Anyone who knows the dangers of the bear tribe will not sit back and watch the bear tribe survive in the mountains and forests.

It's just that Tina's revelation made the other Holy Guards feel helpless.

It is true that the Ursine people have poor vision at night, but they humans are not much better, and two hundred versus two thousand, is it too exaggerated?

However, what he said next shocked the entire Holy Guard so much that their jaws almost dropped.

"You divide into three teams and seal here, here, and here." Tina pointed to the terrain on the map: "When the bear tribe is defeated and flees, try to intercept them and don't let any of them escape."

"Wait a minute, Ms. Tina." The adjutant sitting next to him said anxiously: "Are you planning to deal with two thousand bear men by yourself?"

"It's not just me, there's also Cook." Tina smiled, looking at Beta with eyes full of trust.

"I object." The adjutant stood up: "I must be responsible for your safety."

"Objection is invalid." Tina looked at the adjutant calmly: "As the highest commander in the team, I order you to act according to the plan I made, otherwise you will be dealt with according to military law."

The adjutant gritted his teeth and sat down bitterly. Then he turned his gaze to Beta, quite praying, as if he hoped that Beta would also persuade Tina.

Beta shook her head at him.

The adjutant suddenly became anxious.

Tina stood up: "Okay, that's it. Let's eat some food and prepare for the upcoming battle. Cook, you and I will act together."

"Wait, what about us?" Seaman jumped up.

Tina shook her head: "Act with them."

Then Tina shouldered her sword and walked into the forest, followed by Beta.

"They are too arrogant." The archers in Seaman's team were a little puzzled: "At least we have to bring Alili with us."

Arili is the thief of the team.

Bradley smiled and said: "I think they are not arrogant, but confident. Geniuses are different from us. You have to understand the meaning of this sentence."
